Is there a way using Group Policy to make all redirected folders sync at certain times? I'm using Server 2003 if that helps.

Basically, we have folder redirection set up because our systems are set up to wipe changes at restart. We've had a couple power outages during these recent heat waves and there have been many documents lost since syncing does not occur until log off. I'm hoping there is some solution for syncing files automatically while users are still logged in.

Um, are those Windows Folder Redirects set like to Offline mode? I ask as in my experience with Folder Redirects by a GP it will write to the server in real time if it can (if Server Volume is available) so just curious. Could be that is the only way I have seen it set up so once again just wondering......

You know what, you are 100% correct about it saving real time! We just rolled out folder redirection after the power losses and I'm embarrassed that I didn't check that before asking. I just assumed it didn't until log off. Thank you very much, sir.

Well we had the power loss before I implemented folder redirection and some users lost documents they were working on. They were confused because they saved their work but didn't realize it wasn't fully saved until they logged off.
